History of
The first uggs appeared in Australia. They were sewn not by a famous fashion designer, but by simple farmers. The fact is that in a country where sheep breeding thrives, there are often severe frosts. Therefore, the workers began to sew shoes of sheep wool.
Despite the fact that the first boots were very warm, their appearance was very inconsiderable.
The name of these boots comes from the word ugly, which translated from English means "ugly." However, when the first ugg boots were brought to the USA, they immediately found their admirers. After all, Americans, more than anyone, appreciate the comfort and practicality of shoes. Since then, the uggs began to enter the masses.
Unusual boots interested company Ugg Australia. She launched the production of this shoe, and the very first line was sold out with a bang. The great advantage of such boots is that they can be worn at any time of the year. Permissible temperature range from -30 to +25.
